Description
For example, the following fails on Mono Linux:
os.mkdir(b'@test_16742_tmp\xe7w\xf0')
with the following error:
ValueError: Illegal byte sequence encounted in the input.
This causes failures in test_genericpath.test_nonascii_abspath which is run by test_macpath, test_ntpath, test_posixpath.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the os.mkdir call with the undecodable byte path on Mono Linux, then run test_genericpath.test_nonascii_abspath through test_macpath, test_ntpath, and test_posixpath. Trace the filesystem path handling involved in the ValueError; done means the call succeeds and those tests pass without the illegal-byte-sequence failure.
